Hello everyone,
today i tryed to print PLA with my Bowden Extruder but it get stucken between the Teeth after Seconds...
I already changed from the normal Gear like This:
[e3d-online.com]
[e3d-online.com]
now i got this:
[www.geras-it.de]
and it works for PETG realy well but not for PLA... same issue.
Got someone a Idea how to fix that?

So the teeth of the gear are getting clogged up with PLA?

Increase your spring tension.
PLA needs a lot of tension, PETG is a lot softer so doesn't need as much force pushing on the gear.
I have been using a gear similar to the one in your last link for a year and a half, it works really well for me in PLA, ABS, PETG, TPE, and HIPS. I haven't found a filament that wasn't suited to it.

Yeah there was a good bit of "research" done which showed those flat mk8 style gears to have the highest traction of any of the tested drive gears.
